Welcome from the Head of School

Welcome to the Covenant School - we’re glad you’re here. 

We understand parenting young children, or older children for that matter, is not for the faint of heart. I would argue that it is during this time that our reliance on God, the support of a like-hearted community, and the moment-by-moment cultivation of humility, wisdom, and winsomeness is most acute. Those things make finding the right school for your family vital. As you shepherd your family, you are building a legacy.

We know legacies are constructed over time, forged in endurance, and carried forward one generation at a time. 

At The Covenant School, we invite you to invest in something that outlasts transcripts and trophies: the living legacy of a Charlotte Mason-inspired classical Christian education. Our work is more than grades and resumes; it is the long, steady formation of a foundation, laid layer by layer, through Scripture, stories, thoughtful study, and the steady habits that shape a life.

Our mission serves as the guiding principle for our work: The Covenant School exists to glorify God by equipping students with the tools necessary to pursue a lifetime of learning, so that they may discern, reason, and defend truth in service to our Lord, Jesus Christ. In practice, this looks like rich books and beautiful pursuits, habits of attention and gratitude, the thoughtful application of a time-tested education, and an atmosphere where truth, goodness, and beauty are beloved. Over time, this living-liturgy forms the whole child.

We aspire for a community marked by humility, winsomeness, and wisdom. We aim to listen before we speak, hold convictions with grace, and not only know what is true but also understand how to apply it correctly. This posture shapes our classrooms and our partnerships with families.

To invest here means more than just enrolling – it means joining a story. Your presence, prayers, and partnership help set the bedrock for your children and the students who will follow them. If you’re ready to begin the life-long cultivation of a legacy, we’d love to meet you, answer your questions, and help you discern whether Covenant is the right school for your family.

Sincerely,


Melissa Hill
Head of School
